peptidoglycan

In biochemistry terms the difference between proteoglycan and peptidoglycan

is that proteoglycan is any of many glycoproteins that have heteropolysaccharide side chains while peptidoglycan is a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls.

As nouns the difference between chitin and peptidoglycan

is that chitin is a complex polysaccharide, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and in the cell walls of fungi; thought to be responsible for some forms of asthma in humans while peptidoglycan is a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls.

As nouns the difference between peptidoglycan and glycopeptides

is that peptidoglycan is a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls while glycopeptides is plural of glycopeptide.

As nouns the difference between peptidoglycan and glycogen

is that peptidoglycan is (biochemistry) a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls while glycogen is (carbohydrate) a polysaccharide that is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals; converted to glucose as needed.

As nouns the difference between peptidoglycan and undecaprenol

is that peptidoglycan is (biochemistry) a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls while undecaprenol is (organic compound) an isoprenoid alcohol (having 11 isoprene units) that has a role in peptidoglycan biosynthesis.

As nouns the difference between peptidoglycan and actelyglucosamine

is that peptidoglycan is (biochemistry) a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls while actelyglucosamine is (organic compound) an acetylamino derivative of glucose that is a component of peptidoglycans.

As nouns the difference between peptidoglycan and murein

is that peptidoglycan is (biochemistry) a polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls while murein is peptidoglycan, mucopeptide.
